Featured in the first issue of Nicotine Magazine which can be viewed here! (www.nicotinemag.com). I had a lot of fun contributing to this zine and look froward to another collaboration with the editors. (and midnight, the husky)

This piece was inspired by the artist Ricardo Cavolo...who I am artistically infatuated with. His work is very naive yet charming, fun, and authentic. I'm a huge fan. I channeled him in this experimental piece.

This was a wedding present that I worked on for a fantastic couple that I have the privilege of knowing. It is now hanging up in their beautiful new apartment that they bought together. I am glad it has found such a loving home. Congratulations you two! You fill me with hope!

These are some pieces I did for Frances Jetter's Experiments in Narrative class. I had to dig deep into the hurt and darkness and harness their great powers of evil to really get across my hatred in its most pure form. I found it very therapeutic and effective.

Was a bust. It sucked. I thought everything would pick up and I would find my footing but it all ended up becoming a smooshed up blur of insecurities and anxiety. A majority of the times I struck out but when I dug deep, I feel like I hit a couple out the park. This one was one of them. The project was to do an illustration based off of a title. Titles were drawn at random out of a hat and mine was:

So this has been a long time coming and I don't really know where to start...so I'll just start.

This first image I made over the summer before the start of senior year. It was originally a trial run for a tarot cards series that I wanted to tackle. This was the Death Card. I took a lot of reference but the project sort of fizzled out. I would like to pick it up again and maybe do something a little faster and more colorful.
